L25.359 Before the Seas, by Anonymous - Part 23

-
Despite the machinations of his father and many rivals, Kur-Aked prevailed over tribulation after tribulation - what he initially saw as a means to better himself he soon despised and he despaired as he realized it was the result of those whom he loved and protected.

Wastetreader Dykstra A cluster of 200ft tall tapered towers made of alabaster bricks topped with a bulbous cage that serve as belfries for manticores.
